Fun Day at Tuttle Creek PLUS...

We had a great time at Tuttle Creek State Park yesterday. Above - the fam getting ready to set up the tent. I supervised, but had to help when the wind started blowing everything around. And, the finished product!
Here's our view from the campsite:Here's my shaggy-headed and shaggy-faced college sophomore. We had a great visit! I miss that young man!
Kaleb and Kaitlin were really happy to see their brother! I know Kaleb enjoys having a room to himself (as does Brandon now), but they are all still buds!
And here's dad and son. I think Brandon got his height, dark hair and dark complexion from my side of the family.
After we got the tent set up, Corby and Kaitlin drove around the park looking for firewood and hit the bait shop/convenience store for beer and bait! The boys and I stayed back at camp and had a good walk around the area and a great visit! I left them to camp and headed back to Wichita early evening, because as I've said many times, I DO NOT CAMP! Having had a tent almost float away in Branson once due to torrential - and I mean TORRENTIAL - rain; and freezing my rear end off camping in Colorado one year when it snowed REALLY early - I refuse to camp anymore! They are back in Manhattan tonight to spend the night with Brandon because Corby is taking Kaleb & Kaitlin to senior day at K-State tomorrow! I took Brandon 2 years ago, so Corby wanted to experience it this time. Corby is fixing Brandon and his roommates a good dinner tonight, since none of them are very interested in cooking - though Brandon did tell me yesterday that he made fettucini alfredo a couple of weeks ago. Of course, he just cooked some noodles and used sauce from a jar - but hey - at least he cooked something! It wasn't just a frozen pizza, or hot pockets, or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

So - without the fam at home - I've been scrapbooking today. Yes, I'm doing laundry also, but I've been enjoying myself immensely. Here are some pages I've done today:Melody and I have seen numerous Styx concerts over the years, so this concert brought back a lot of memories - thus the quote from Kahlil Gibran.

I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow. YIPPEE! More stamping and scrapping coming I think! That or a movie marathon. I haven't decided for sure...

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
